Chapter 1

OverviewChapter Objectives Chapter 1 provides an overview of your 1203-SSS converter. In th

chapter, you will read about the following:

• How the 1203-SSS converter works.

• Parts of the 1203-SSS converter.

• Required equipment and tools.

Overview of the 1203-SSS Converter

The 1203-SSS converter provides a temporary electronic communications interface between a personal computer with a seport and any single SCANport product.

The serial connection to the 1203-SSS uses a full-duplex RS-232 protocol. This protocol is used by various software packages, including DriveTools32™ and DriveExplorer™, to connect to SCANport products.

Figure 1.1Example of a 1203-SSS Converter Connecting a PC to a SCANport Product

A SCANport cable connects the converter to a SCANport productthrough a SCANport port on the SCANport product. A serial cableconnects the converter to the PC through a serial port on the PC.

The 1203-SSS converter receives its power from the connected SCANport product, so it requires no external power source.

1203-SSS converter. In this chapter, you will read about the following:

• Tools and equipment needed for the installation.

• Selecting cables for SCANport and serial connections.

• Installing the converter.

• Removing the converter.

Required Tools and Equipment To install your 1203-SSS converter, you will need the following:

• 1203-SSS converter.

• Appropriate cables for SCANport and serial connections. Refethe “Selecting Cables” section in this chapter.

Selecting Cables To connect the 1203-SSS converter to the SCANport product andcomputer, you must use the appropriate SCANport and serial cabThe 1203-C10 SCANport cable and 1203-SFC serial cable that ashipped with each converter are all you should need to connect aSCANport product to a computer.

Important: If you are connecting the converter to a hand-held personal computer (HPC) or PalmPC running Windows CE™, youmust purchase an additional null cable converter (1203-SNM) or astandard PC null cable with two male 9-pin sub-miniature D connectors.

Important: To provide proper termination of the 1203-SFC cable shield, the chassis of the PC should be properly grounded. If this not possible or practical, then a ground wire should be connectedthe 1203-SFC shield at the shell of the 9-pin sub-miniature D connector.
